Once upon a time, I had a Spanish Tapas Bar … strangely enough (to me anyway) one of the most requested dishes was the chicken livers in Chipotle Cream. When we started to provide this dish with your choice of chicken liver, chicken breast, chorizo sausage, and even prawns or scallops, it really took off! This version uses chorizo sausage and chicken breasts but it is so versatile you can use whatever you like once you have the chipotle cream made.
2 chicken breasts – sliced into bite size pieces
2 wine cured, dried chorizo sausages
3 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tbsp chicken stock concentrate
3 garlic cloves
2 chipotle chiles, in adobo sauce – minced
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
scallions (green spring onion)
Melt butter, and saute garlic just until tender. Stir in 1 minced chipotle chile and the cream. Cook over moderate heat until sauce has thickened – taste for seasoning, and add more chipotle (if you like it a bit hot) and perhaps a bit of salt and pepper. Like it? If not loving it, add more chipotle! Add sliced chorizo sausage and chicken pieces. Let cook over moderate heat until sauce has thickened, developed a glossy rich look and the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
Serve with rice – or our favorite – paella! The sauce is so delicious make sure to serve bread for dipping …
Thanks Cathy!! Cant wait to make this again, you did some little garlic potatoes too, I think they were done in the oven, that was a great dish as well……
Patatas al Ajillo ….. yes they were great! Doing them in the oven is okay, but deep frying is where it is at! Then they get that crunch with the garlic … oh so yummy … I almost made those last night also, but ran out of time … soon!
